About this podcast

Dive deep into the science of flexibility with Dr. Andrew Huberman, a Professor of Neurobiology at Stanford School of Medicine. This episode unravels the intricate biological and neural mechanisms that govern our limb range of motion and how to optimize it. Learn about the crucial role flexibility plays in preventing injuries, reducing inflammation, modulating pain, and even impacting recovery and disease progression. Dr. Huberman provides research-supported stretching and "micro-stretching" protocols, detailing how often, for how long, and when to incorporate them for maximum benefit. Whether you're an athlete or simply seeking to enhance your general well-being, this episode offers actionable, science-based tools to significantly improve your flexibility and overall physical health.
